  5. D-Day 75: Train named after Portsmouth D-Day museumpublished at 17:22 British Summer Time 4 June 2019

    A train has been named to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

    South Western Railway's train 444040 was named The D-Day Story after the Southsea museum dedicated to the Normandy landings in June 1944.

    It was officially unveiled by Royal Navy veteran Artificer Jimmy Ockendon at a ceremony at Portsmouth and Southsea Station.

    The museum on Southsea seafront reopened last year after a £5m revamp. It includes artifacts from the invasion and the 83m-long (272ft) Overlord Embroidery. It is hoped having the train bearing the museum's name on the Portsmouth-London Waterloo line would also help boost visitor numbers.

    Andy Mellors, managing director of South Western Railway said it was a "permanent reminder" of D-Day.
